The given scaling function in the new method can be an equilibrium point; a periodic orbit, or even a chaotic attractor in the phase space. Based on LaSalle＇s invariance set principle, the adaptive control law is derived to make the states of two chaotic systems function projective synchronized. Some numerical examples are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

Self-adaptive parameter law and control law are given in the form of a theorem. The synchronization between the three-dimensional R6ssler chaotic system and the four-dimensional Chen＇s hyper-chaotic system is studied as an example for illustration. The computer simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the method proposed.展开更多

Unlike the proof given in our previous work （Phys. Rev. B 74 195414 （2006））, we take a different approach, which does not exploit the explicit expression of the Gibbs distribution function. Instead, we only assume that the statistical distribution function of the quantum dot system is thermodynamically stable. As a result, we are able to show clearly that the electronic structure in the quantum dot system is completely determined by its thermodynamic stability. Furthermore, the weaker requirements on the statistical distribution function also make it possible to apply the same method to the quantum dot systems in non-equilibrium states.展开更多

Three cases including linear delay, cubic delay and global delay in the system are considered respectively. The simulation results indicate that the linear delay enhances the fluctuation of the system （reduces the stability of the system） while the cubic delay and global delay weaken it （enforce the stability of the system）, and the effect of cubic delay is more pronounced than the linear delay and global delay.展开更多

More generally, we consider general systems under the basic Kawashima- Shizuta type of conditions. The first result is to make precise the secondary waves with subscale structure, revealing the nature of coupling of waves pertaining to different characteristic families. The second result is on the continuous differentiability of the Green＇s function with respect to a small parameter when the coefficients of the system are smooth functions of that parameter. The results significantly improve previous results obtained by the authors.展开更多
